<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8233222, member: 110350&quot;]My &quot;ethnicity estimates&quot; from Ancestry and Family Tree DNA are the same: 100% European Jewish, mostly Ashkenazi, with a smidgeon of very distant Sephardic ancestry. Not unusual for people in almost-exclusively endogamous populations like European Jews (given that for ca. 1,500 years it was illegal to marry Gentiles without converting to Christianity and thereby exiting the European Jewish genetic pool, and it was equally illegal for Gentiles to convert to Judaism) to have 100% ancestry from that ethnic group, all of whom are rather closely related for the last 1,500-2,000 years. From paper genealogy, I am half German Jewish, 3/8 Polish Jewish, and 1/8 Lithuanian Jewish. Nobody from Ukraine. My former father-in-law&#039;s parents were both from Ukraine (towns not too far from Zhitomir), immigrating shortly before World War I, so my son has 25% Ukrainian-Jewish ancestry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
